Technical Information
DOW SYLGARD 170 is a two-part, black, flame-retardant silicone encapsulant designed for potting and encapsulating sensitive electronic components, PCBs, sensors, and electrical assemblies where both protection and flame retardancy are required. It cures at room temperature or with heat acceleration to a tough, flexible silicone rubber that provides excellent moisture exclusion, vibration damping, and thermal protection. The 0.9 Kg kit provides sufficient material for medium to large-scale encapsulation batches. SYLGARD 170 is widely specified in electronics manufacturing for assemblies requiring UL flame-retardant certification.
